What is the best way to study the Bible according to Les?
The best way to study the Bible is to read it actively, asking yourself questions as you go along. When a passage raises a question—such as what happened to the old heaven and earth—look to Scripture for the answer. This method turns reading into study by pursuing the questions the text naturally raises.
Les teaches that the first thing he tries to get people to do as they read or study their Bible is to ask themselves questions as they go along. He illustrates this with Revelation 21:1, where John sees a new heaven and new earth. That statement should leave a question: what happened to the old one? Les then says the Scripture has the answer and directs the listener back to Peter's little epistle. So his approach is active, question-driven reading that seeks answers within the Bible itself.
